Citra Gastropub

Rock, alternative tracks and current playlists complement a beer-focused night without interrupting conversation. This is not a DJ club. As the bar fills in the evening, the music becomes a little more energetic, while the focus stays on the beer and talk at the table.

A warm neighborhood bar where regulars come together, calm but lively enough for a drink before heading home. Tables work for groups of friends, and the counter also suits someone sitting alone to explore the beer selection.

A gastropub centered on 3 Kafadar’s own beer brand, combining a beer house and a serious bar kitchen. Citra Burger, pizza with Bosnian sucuk, Korean-style spicy wings and smoked-sucuk croquettes are substantial partners for craft beer. It is a modern version of a neighborhood bar.

Young to middle-aged urban residents of Akatlar and Etiler looking for good burgers and beer. Craft-beer fans, friends meeting after work and couples stopping for a beer or two and conversation during the week or weekend fill the evenings.

The Akatlar neighborhood-bar setting is relaxed: jeans, T-shirts, sweatshirts and sneakers look natural. In the evening, a shirt, blazer or clean sneakers add a slightly dressier touch that suits the modern bar.

Citra Gastropub is a strong choice for those looking to explore local craft beers. Varieties such as Mosaic, Belgian Blonde, Gecce, and Maximus are frequently praised, while the Umami burger stands out as an excellent accompaniment to the drinks. Its modern décor and relaxed pub vibe make it well-suited for gatherings with friends. Consistency in the kitchen varies; the Korean-style chicken, in particular, was found lacking. During busy periods, issues such as inexperienced or rude service, the refusal to seat parties of two despite available tables, and delayed orders can occur. The venue's primary strength lies in its focus on beer.
